4 Performance is a key in the manager - employee Relationship . "The manager - employee Relationship has a critical impact on performance. So why do companies often neglect to emphasize or provide training to help Managers build this important connection?" The Optimum Relationship between Managers and employees is so important to build a good organization as well as good economy. The report published by (Accord Management Systems 2004) has discussed the importance role of the employees and present the negative results for disengagement.

He wrote, "When employees are knowledgeable and have good resources, they are better-informed, solve problems more quickly and make more data-driven decisions. Employees who make good decisions experience success on a regular basis. This contributes to job satisfaction and empowers employees to solve problems and make more decisions, which in turn, will make them feel more valued, more loyal, more likely to stay with the organization and more likely to produce higher-quality work." Communication is playing vital role between Managers and employees.

6 Communication is a main key and you can open any door with it. Researchers (Markos, Sridevi 2010) have discussed the importance of communication, "Most studies demonstrate that feeling valued by management, two-way communication between management and employees, management s interest in employees well-being and giving more opportunities for employees to grow are the top drivers of employee engagement ."

It is so critical to increase job satisfactions for your employees during the daily hard circumstances. Authors (Oedekoven and Hay 2010) have presented the benefits of job satisfaction, "With increased job satisfaction and productivity companies can maintain low employee turnover, which not only will help them achieve greater levels of economies of experience, but also reduces the cost of training and human resource issues that arise in a conflicted setting" Employees spend most of their life in their organizations.
